They have simply been raised like livestock as a food source for their captors. In the first season the children plan and execute an escape from their house. They do this in 12 episodes. In the second, they do everything else in the manga and then some. They flee into the forests, figure out how to survive, and then are rescued from their pursuers by a pair of demons — in the first episode.
